But how does it work? According to the Neural Nexus charter, a corporate council meets once a month to confer with a ChatGPT Discord bot cognizant of Eve Online<\/em>\u2019s mechanics about matters that may have a \u201csignificant impact\u201d on the corporation. One past example, Neural Nexus co-founder and council member Jackey Fang told Polygon, was when they asked, \u201cPlease give me a specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound goal for tomorrow,\u201d to which the bot responded, \u201cBy the end of tomorrow, I will participate in at least three fleet operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

The directors then communicate the bot\u2019s guidance to the rest of the corporation and oversee day-to-day operations within that framework. AI interaction is recorded in such a way that all corporation members can view a full log of past conversations so as to ensure that its dictates remain transparent.<\/p>\n

Neural Nexus\u2019 council also uses ChatGPT to screen applications, even going as far as to allow the bot to decide on the parameters against which it will measure potential recruits. It decided upon four questions, ranging from how long hopefuls have been playing Eve Online<\/em> to their personal feelings about participating in an AI-guided corporation. The council eventually added three questions of their own due to the frequency with which they came up, like what time zone the player lives in.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have then a roughly two-week onboarding phase where we observe how candidates integrate into our corporation activities,\u201d Neural Nexus CEO Celestis Aeon said. \u201cAfter this trial period, we consult the AI again and provide it with this additional information and individual impressions from the recruiter. Based on that, it then makes a decision to make them a \u2018full member\u2019 or to terminate their trial membership. This happens in a dialogue which allows us to also extend trial memberships for players that didn\u2019t have a lot of time for Eve<\/em> and had less opportunity to interact with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Less-consequential functions left to AI include generating the Neural Nexus logo, naming ships, and coming up with a corporate welcome message.<\/p>\n

Neural Nexus leadership likewise encourages players to consult AI for their daily activities and share their experiences as a collaborative role-playing and lore-building exercise meant to entice additional recruits, but it\u2019s by no means required to give up total control to the chatbot, not even for the corporation as a whole.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the AI is a powerful tool, members should remember that it is not infallible,\u201d Neural Nexus\u2019 AI interaction guidelines read. \u201cMembers should use their judgment when following the AI\u2019s advice and consider the context of the game and the specific situation at hand.\u201d<\/p>\n
